What little things irk you?

<p>Public bathrooms that require you to straddle the toilet seat just to get the door closed, then hoping your knees won’t hit the door as you sit down.</p>

<p>People who don’t use turn signals.</p>

<p>People who roll through stop signs or red lights without coming to a complete stop (especially when they pull out in front of me, requiring me to brake).</p>

<p>mimk6-
I think we are related!! Why do people think we are their mouthpieces??</p>

<p>Others trying to have a conversation over the tv or up/down the stairs, then yelling “WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU” when they wont turn the noise off or come to the stairs or come face-to-face. That, or they mumble,and when you ask them to repeat they say “never mind”</p>

<p>

What’s worse is when a company-wide email goes out, and some moron will reply/all with something nobody cares about, followed by 20 emails from people saying “please don’t reply/all”.</p>

<p>What’s your batting average on getting those motion-activated paper towel dispensers in public restrooms to work? Mine’s about .140.</p>

<p>People who ask, “Can I ask you a question?” instead of just asking the question.</p>

<p>People who ask, “What are you doing Friday night?” instead of “would you like to xyz Friday night?”</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>More annoying than that is people who sit at a red light with right blinker blinking, no cars coming, and don’t turn even though right turn on red is LEGAL. WHY?!?!?!?!?!</p>

<p>People who come to a stop on a highway entrance ramp because they don’t know how to** merge** onto a highway.</p>

<p>people who say “no offense but…”</p>

<p>If you have to preface it with “no offense but…” then you know you are about to be offensive. If you don’t want to offend then don’t say it. If you are willing to offend don’t pretend you are not by saying “no offense but…”</p>

<p>No idea. DH has even done this with our kids telling me to let one of them know something. Even better is when we are both on the same couch and a kid is upstairs and he says, “Can you tell DS such and such?” Which leads me to something I’m betting everyone can relate to: when I turn to my child in the kitchen and say, “Please let everyone know dinner is ready.” Said child doesn’t move an inch and then yells at the top of his lungs, “Dinner’s ready.”</p>

<p>“More annoying than that is people who sit at a red light with right blinker blinking, no cars coming, and don’t turn even though right turn on red is LEGAL. WHY?!?!?!?!?!”</p>

<p>I do this sometimes because I get to the corner and then wonder if there might have been a “No Turn on Red” sign that I missed.</p>

<p>

^^ mimk6- we definitely ARE related.</p>

<p>Spandex and pointy helmet wearing Lance Armstrong wannabes who insist on riding on sidewalks instead of their dedicated bike lanes endangering themselves and the pedestrians!</p>

<p>My coworkers and I applauded when we saw a cop pulling one of those sidewalk riders over and writing him a ticket! Ha!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>People who daydream while driving and/or don’t pay attention to street signs.</p>

<p>****Hee hee.</p>

<p>Women who pee all over the toilet seat in public bathrooms. Just lift the seat if you have to keep your butt so clean. </p>

<p>People who walk through the door that you’re holding for them as if you’re their personal doorman. And then don’t say thank you.</p>

<p>The guy who was all nice to me in the store, letting me pass down the aisle first, then out in the parking lot hissed at his little boy and berated & belittled him for accidentally bumping into someone. OK, that’s irksome for me, but a lifetime of therapy for the poor kid. Sigh.</p>

<p>Which brings me to: people who make a show of being “nice”, then turn around and say/do something mean to their significant other/child/parent.</p>

<p>No turning on red: I live in a city where this is not allowed, so am not used to doing it. OK?</p>

<p>But I do object to people who come to a stop at rotaries, or who try to turn right off a rotary from the left lane.</p>

<p>Husbands who dont open the new trashbag when they put it in the kitchen trashcan (kudos for taking out the trash but PLEASE open the bag when you put it in the can)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>^^^^According to Wiki, locales in the US which forbid right turn on red are extremely rare. But if you’re from one of those oddball places, you’re excused.</p>

<p>Hey, I’d just settle for a husband/child who would put a new bag in the can at all rather than having to come upon an empty can time after time.</p>

<p>^^ New York City is oddball??? OK, don’t answer that.</p>

<p>Left hand turners, on a green light not arrow, who do not pull forward into the intersection to claim their space. Yes, Canadians, this means you ;)</p>
